Description

This "button-style" replacement tube is engineered for patients who require simultaneous gastric venting and jejunal feeding. This specific configuration is tailored for patients with a 2.7 cm stoma tract who need a longer jejunal tail to ensure stable placement deep in the small intestine.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.

  • 2.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 2.7 cm.

  • 30: The jejunal (distal) length is 30 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.

Key Features

  • Accommodates Deep Stoma Tracts: The 2.7 cm shaft length is designed for patients with a thicker abdominal wall. A proper fit at this length prevents the external bolster from being too tight, which reduces the risk of pressure necrosis or "buried bumper syndrome."

  • Extended 30 cm Jejunal Tail: This length is typically selected for taller patients or those whose anatomy requires the feeding tip to be placed further past the Ligament of Treitz. This helps prevent the tube from "flipping" back into the stomach.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable than traditional "long" G-J tubes. It is less likely to be snagged on clothing or accidentally pulled.

  • Dual-Port Access:

    • Gastric Port (White): Used for removing air or fluid from the stomach (venting) and administering gastric medications.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated to the continuous delivery of enteral nutrition directly into the small bowel.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help gravity maintain the tube's position in the jejunum and resist migration caused by gastric contractions.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Features threaded ports compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring only enteral-specific syringes and feeding sets can be connected.
